Phased Array Signal Processing Student Challenge

The competition focuses on the processing of GNSS data collected in the recent experimental campaign held in Jammertest 2024 in Norway. The data have been collected by using a sophisticated Emerson (NI) system that constitutes 4 ultrawideband and fully coherent RF channels. These data are collected under several scenarios where malicious platforms try to disrupt the GNSS receiver functionalities.

The specific scenario for the competition considers a smart (noise-like) jammer that slowly increases the transmitted power to increasingly degrade the receiver performance while remaining stealth for as long as possible.
The objectives of the challenge are the following:

  1. detection of the interference starting time instant;
  2. estimation of the direction of arrival of the received interference signal;
  3. mitigation of the interference effects;
  4. the above items must be guaranteed throughout the duration of the jamming action.

Teams can consist of up to 5 members and at least one member must be regularly registered as student to the conference before downloading the dataset. Data will be provided in a compressed archive protected by a password, which will be disclosed after the registration, and contain a grace period without jamming afterwards the jamming power starts to increase over the time.

In addition, the archive also contains a document with the description of data format. Each team must submit a paper of at most 5 pages (according to conference guidelines) where the proposed solutions and the results and figures (including the angular information every 1 second) are presented.
The submission deadline is August 1, 2025 and the contributions must be sent to the following email address:

PASPS@eusipco2025.org

The competition technical committee will review the submitted papers and will select 2 winners that should attend the conference and present their work during the special session “Multi-dimensional Signal Processing Techniques for Sensing”, when they will be awarded.

The awards are

1st ranked: free publication of an extended paper on EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing (article processing charges are covered by an NI contribution of € 500 and an additional discount from EURASIP).

2nd ranked: NI contribution of € 1000 for an on-site activity at ESA ESTEC Labs (this is open to citizens of the ESA member states and requires the submission of a project proposal to ESA).

Dataset download instructions

After the registration as student, an email containing a password will be sent. The password can be used to download the dataset from the following link
